Five rites

The Five Tibetan Rites is a system of exercises which was first publicized by Peter Kelder in a 1939 publication titled The Eye of Revelation. They are known as the Five Tibetan Rites, a handful of simple exercises that can be performed in less than ten minutes. How old the rites are and where they originated is up for debate. Some say they are over 2,000 years old.

What is beyond doubt is their efficacy. If you do these every day, you will see results in a week. You will see profound differences in a month. Practitioners claim that these exercises will keep you young.

We throw tons of money out the window all of the time in the search for products that might help slow down and reverse the aging process, but the five rites are a simple set of exercises with endless anti-aging and stress-reducing benefits — and they can be done at home without wasting a penny.

We recommend doing the rites in the morning rather than the evening, because they do stoke your energy. Begin by practicing five to seven repetitions of each rite, and build up to 21 reps.

The Five Tibetan Rites are also referred to as "The Five Rites", "The Five Tibetans" and "The Five Rites of Rejuvenation".
